No no come here Azalea isn't a tropical plant, they don't like hot nights. Linsey its a shame you came west when Arthur is in Japan or else you could have gone out to see his place and have a chat. He is in a satsuki production nursery in Kanuma at the moment, learning all their secrets on propagating, feeding, growing and developing satsuki bonsai. He should learn heaps and that will help us all back here.Glenda wrote:Come North, Lindsay!

My mum grows azaleas here and they just grow and grow. No trouble with the humidity or heat. The ones she has have larger leaves and are hose in hose (I think that is the term) but she also has one with very small, longish leaves with rounded ends - almost teardrop shape. Either sort do just fine.nealweb wrote:No no come here Azalea isn't a tropical plant, they don't like hot nights.

If you want a vigorous satsuki try Fuji mori or Takasago, I'm not sure if you have them over east but i would expect so. Or else good old Blue moon is common in all the retail nurseries here and grows really well, and fast!

Yeah he will do, he does every year and i think we may be having the AGM on the same day. You should definitely try to come then if you can. You will see an amazing show of satsuki in flower and he will have some quality stock plants to purchase. Stuff you will not have over east yet. You should come Be nice to meet you too.Bretts wrote:Isn't Arthur having an open garden for the Club in November ? I am thinking of planning my trip West to coincide

Yes we are very lucky but so is the rest of bonsai minded Australia. We saved those Azaleas from the death. We still in the process of cleaning them up. After that we will grade and price them. So you could be lucky too.
